Butterfly Thinlits Dies, Pop up card

This die set is amazing.
Easy to work with, and makes beautiful cards.
Unfortunately, as we speak this die set is unavalable. 
No word as to when it will come back or if it will.
So this post is only a show and tell for those who already have the
Butterfly Die set from Stampin up.

I saw a card on Pinterest, with this set as a pop up butterfly.
However there were no directions.
I understand the simple mechanics of pop ups and had to give the card a try.
Here it is. My version.....


I plan to post directions as soon as I have the time to create photos and instuctions to go with the photos. 
This butterfly die, makes a beautiful pop up card!
Happy Stamping
